Onancock Films presents 'A Separation'

Onancock International Films (OIF), a nonprofit group of movie lovers, is bringing "A Separation," this year's Academy Award winner of Best Foreign Film, to the Roseland Theater on Oct. 11.

Set in contemporary Iran, "A Separation" is a gripping drama which gives us insight to the everyday life of a family and of Iranian society. Seen through our eyes, their lives look completely alien and yet remarkably familiar. These people are so real they might live next door.

Movies with this kind of ethical complexity don't come around very often, so not only is it worth seeing, it's a movie you will want to see with friends because you will want to talk about it afterward.

The Red Queen Gallery is this season's sponsor. Please stop into their gallery at 57 Market St. in Onancock and thank them for supporting Onancock International Films.

You may also want to mark your calendars for Nov. 15, when Onancock International Films will show "Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and will start selling Season Passes for their next series of great movies at The Roseland.

See "A Separation" at 8 p.m. at the Roseland on Thursday, Oct. 11, at The Roseland Theater in Onancock. Tickets may be purchased at the door on the night of the film for $7.50 per person.
